👉 Ponce refers to a small, circular object that is often used as a unit of measurement in the United States and some other countries. The ponce was originally defined by the French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot as a measure for measuring the size of an apple (which at the time was about 1/30th the diameter of a ponce). It has since been used to measure other objects, such as coins, stamps, and even human hair.
